Arion and Davina arrive at one of the classic luxury restaurants. The woman got down and handed the car keys to the valet officer who had been on standby.
The two were immediately escorted by one of the waitresses to a private dining room rented by Baskoro, Davina's father, after the woman gave her name.
The door of the room opens. There was already a well-built man, who was sitting at the dining table alone. Behind the man stood a graceful woman who was his personal assistant.
"Mr Arion, Miss Davina," said Bianca, the assistant. Arion nodded while commenting on the smile. After that, Bianca asked for her resignation to give the three privacy.
Arion then approached Baskoro who was already standing, preparing to welcome him.
Baskoro hugged Arion warmly and asked her how she was doing. "You haven't been home for a long time" the 64-year-old said.
"Sorry, Dad, I'm very busy" replied Arion. Arion called Davina's parents that way.
"Yes, yeah, I know. Earlene's project, isn't it? I heard there was a problem, how is it now?" ask Baskoro.
"Everything went as expected." Answer Arion confidently.
"B**ood. If you need anything, you can call Daddy," Arion just nodded his head. Baskoro then told them to sit down and eat the lunch that had been served on the table.
...***...
Seemed to look dreamy. He found it very difficult to swallow his food at this time, although his stomach thrashed for filling. What the girl has in mind now is the whereabouts of Arion and what her lover is doing with Davina.
"Blue?" call Rani. Now not to pierce. He was busy daydreaming while stirring the origin of his lunch.
"Blue?" this time Rani raised her voice a little. He also touched his friend's knee.
Fresh jerked. "Eh! Sorry, Ran," he said with a cry.
"Why daydream? The food was so sweet." Rani said as she glanced at Sekar's food that was still intact and a little messy.
Shaking his head. "Just think about work. Kok, it feels like today is tired of my body," replied Sekar half lying. He did feel tired as well, whether it was the influence of his mood or not.
"Today is a lot of work, so you have to eat. Don't keep daydreaming." Said Rani.
He nodded and put his food back in his mouth. Even though it felt bland, he still tried to swallow it.
Rani knows, maybe Sekar is lying. Seemed to be in a bad mood after returning from the emergency stairs. Maybe he was fighting with Umbara Employees who often met him at lunchtime. That's why? he did not have lunch with the employee there.
Rani shrugged her shoulders. He who does not want to interfere chooses silence and just say what Sekar said. Although one question always arises on the surface, every time he meets the girl. That is, about his relationship with Arion, considering some time ago, their superiors willingly carried Sekar to the clinic.
Rani can not forget, how the look of the face full of worries boss.
...***...
"So, how's the two of you doing?" baskoro asked Arion and Davina, after finishing their lunch.
Davina glanced at Arion who was wiping her lips. "We're fine." Arion purposely answered Baskoro's question.
"You know what Daddy means, don't you?" ask Baskoro. "You are both grown up and single. So why look for a partner out there, if you two can get married?" keep the man.
Arion sighed softly. This is what makes him reluctant to meet Baskoro as often as possible.
"We're just good friends, Dad," Arion replied. "I ..," his eyes glanced at the nervous Davina. "had no desire at all to be in a relationship with Davina. Forgive me," continued Arion firmly.
Davina. Usually, if the father starts to ask such questions, Arion will answer with cliche answers such as, "let it flow, Dad," or "look at it later." but now, Arion really rejects it, in front of his own father.
Davina's throat was very dry. His tongue is also thick. An invisible knife was as if it was slicing through his heart at this moment.
The pain ran all over Davina's body.
Baskoro glanced at the child. He knows very well, at the moment Davina is trying to look okay. The man did not really bother about the relationship between the two. He is not a parent who is willing to betroth his children, what else for profit alone. But seeing how Davina liked Arion a long time ago, she decided to help her daughter a little.
Baskoro sighed. Disappointed when he heard Arion's words, because the man now firmly rejected his daughter, instead of giving ambiguous answers as usual. "Alright, but Daddy hope, one day your thinking can change. Davina is the only girl who fits you, Rion," said the wise man.
Whatever respect he has for Baskoro, when it comes to feelings, Arion will not obey. He has his own choice now. Although Sekar does not exist and he is still single, he will never be willing to choose a woman like Davina.
Think of it as a reward for what Davina did to Sekar the other day.
...***...
I just got off his motorcycle. "Thank you, sir," said the girl, giving her twenty-five thousand dollars. Want to quickly get home makes Sekar choose to go home online ojek.
He opened the gate. The atmosphere of the house looks lonely. Dini may have just left for work, as she got an afternoon shift today. While Bi Ida had already called him, that he would go home.
Sekar opened the door of the house using a spare key given by Bi Ida. Right after the door of the house opened, someone suddenly pulled on his body and held it tightly.
"I'm sorry" said Arion.
Close his eyes. The girl immediately returned Arion's embrace and buried her head deeply into the man's chest.
...***...
Davina can't hold back her tears anymore. In Erlina's arms, the woman was crying. Davina told all that happened this afternoon to stepmother Arion, talking about her meeting with Sekar the other day.
Erlina patted Davina's back full of affection. He took off the woman's embrace and wiped away her tears. "Relax baby, calm down, Mama's gonna figure out a way to get that girl away from Rion."
"I don't want to lose to that girl, Ma!" peekit Davina's.
Erlina calms Davina down. "Relax baby, we can definitely get rid of him,"
"How's it going, Ma?" ask Davina impatiently. "Ahh, did we reveal Arion's true identity? That way he'll be hurt for being lied to,"
Erlina shakes. "Don't baby! It is precisely possible that the village girl will not be willing to release Rion, if she knows who she really is. That would be a great opportunity for him, wouldn't it?"
Davina termangu. It was also true what Erlina said. Arion's lies are not harmful lies. So of course the girl would be happy, if she knew that Arion was the son of the owner of Umbara Corporation. Now it's going to be harder to let Arion go, and Davina doesn't want that until it happens.
"Then what, Ma?" Davina demands an answer.
"You don't have to bother thinking about this, let's just mama,"
Davina nodded and hugged Erlina again.
